Biography

Lisa is the owner of Fried-Grodin Employment Law LLC, a modern law firm for the evolving workplace. Workplace change is constant. Lisa started this law firm to provide employees and employers in New Jersey and New York with innovative solutions to today’s evolving workplace issues.

Lisa’s clients know they can count on her no matter how new or complicated their employment issue may be. Since COVID-19 started impacting our lives in a significant way in 2020, she has been working closely with employees and employers to come up with strategies and answers to questions not pondered before or contemplated including vaccine testing and mask mandates, keeping employees safe, flexible schedules, workplace safety-based accommodation requests, hybrid work, the great resignation, and more.

When things aren’t going well at work, it can affect our sleep, finances and overall well-being. Lisa helps employees and employers overcome these challenges so they can focus on their careers, lives and businesses. Her experience representing both employees and employers gives her insight into the values, strategies and tactics used by both sides at work and in litigation. This enables her to be an informed, trusted advisor, zealous advocate and effective mediator.

She represents clients in litigation and also provides employment law advice to address situations successfully without litigation, including matters involving discipline and termination, sexual harassment, discrimination, medical and family leaves, whistleblower/retaliation, wage and hour requirements, compensation issues, employee classification issues (exempt and nonexempt employee status and contractor and employee status), employment agreements, separation agreements and workplace policies.

Legal Answers
Q. Hi, I have been audited by the NJ Dep. of Labor and they have concluded sub-contractor does not meet the requirements
A: It sounds like the NJDOL determined that there was insufficient proof that the subcontractor was an independent business under the ABC test. This case will give you a good understanding of the legal issues https://www.njcourts.gov/system/files/court-opinions/2022/a_7_21.pdf

It may be worthwhile for you to hire an employment attorney to assess if you have any defenses to this determination.
Q. Can an employer require me to sign a non compete agreement after I have already resigned? I am in food services.
A: An employee cannot withhold an employee's check for this reason in NJ. If this occurs you should file a wage claim with NJ Department of Labor. An employee has no obligation to sign such a document after resignation.
Q. Can a person be discriminated because of their religion at their place of employment.
A: It is unlawful to discriminate against an employee based on their religion under both federal, NY and NJ discrimination law. You should consult with an employment attorney to discuss your matter further and get advice on how to address this.
